Weapons and Armor - A Pictorial Archive of Woodcuts and Engravings

Weapons from ancient times to the present day, in a range of styles, from engravings to photographs. Here you will find the wildly obscure Persian battle hammer, the largest U.S. Army field gun in 1887, cross bows, long bows, daggers and knives, miscellaneous and unusual weapons such as the flask of poison or the wheel lock pistol with battle axe, whips, pole arms, poniards, rifles, spears, javelins, dozens of swords, complete suits of armour, shields, targets and bucklers, cuirasses and coats of mail.

Also featured are first world war weapons, elephant armour and just about any weapon imaginable, from the highly decorative to the highly brutal.
